Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson says this is one of the prettiest cars on the road
One of the things you won’t be seeing, however, is the new Peugeot 207 GT. Partly, because we can’t be bothered. And partly because it’s not very good. Oh, at £14,345 it’s exceptionally good value for money compared with rivals from Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen. And yes, it has the same 1.6 litre turbo engine they put in the new Mini, so that’s good too.

What’s more, it has a brilliant sat nav system, and thanks to an unusual rear window with very curved glass it makes every other car look, in your rear-view mirror, like an elongated gargoyle. This makes you feel like you have the prettiest car on the road.

Jeremy says a lots of things. He contradicts himself all the time. Saying "MY GOD.." or "THIS IS INSANE!..*PAUSE*..AND I LOVE IT!". Few minutes into his review he starts stating all the bad things about it and he makes the car sound like crap. I like Richard Hammond's reviews better(especially when he says "This car is sUUUUUUUperb!.".

The 'hot hatch' seems to be good value for money plus it's turbocharged engine. How's the resale value for one of these Peugeot? I heard not so good.

You have got to love the Brits when they talk. It's very entertaining. Especially when it's about cars and the words they use to describe it.

TOP III SAYINGS:
1)SUPERB!
2)MY GOD!
3)BLIBICAL!

It's not important what did he say, but look at Peugeot. They are really nice cars. The design of Peugeot is very style!

NO. I like Peugeot, but this isn't "pretty".

And I thought he had taste, saying my car was his second-favorite convertible...

I think Peugeot has very beautiful and sporty design. I really like the Peugeot 907 concept, I think that the name. I would not mind buying and driving a Peugeot if they have it here in the U.S.

S4, look closer:

"and thanks to an unusual rear window with very curved glass it makes every other car look, in your rear-view mirror, like an elongated gargoyle. This makes you feel like you have the prettiest car on the road"

Lol @ "The driving position is only really suitable for those whose legs are exactly the same length as their arms — ie, no one."

He doesn't actually say the car is "pretty" he says that seeing everything looking elongated in the rearview mirror makes you feel like your car is the prettiest on the road.

That front end looks like a demented clown.
